For more than 15 years Encephalitis Global has focused on helping others. In particular, we want survivors and caregivers to know that they are not alone. Over and over again, people everywhere around the globe struggle to find compassion and support. They struggle to interact with others who understand, particularly when even their medical professional admits that s/he has never before dealt with a case of encephalitis. Every day in our Forums, Encephalitis Global is happy to share information (and the website address) of other encephalitis groups and charities which we feel could be of help.

Recently, a Louisiana-born encephalitis survivor contacted Encephalitis Global about his remarkable project to raise awareness. It all started back in 2007 when Jacob Savoie was 22 years old and in his final year at Louisiana State University. Encephalitis caused him to not finish that year. (Click 225 Baton Rouge Magazine to read more of his story.)

Jacob is currently creating a movie about his journey to recovery from encephalitis. The film will be about the ups & downs for family & friends as Jacob strives to get back on track.

But, Jacob needs our help.

As you can imagine, the creation of a movie costs a fair bit of money. Movie production costs include actors, director, lighting, staff, catering, & post production expenses. For this reason, Encephalitis Global is proud to have partnered with Jacob to accept financial donations for this important project.

Yes, it’s important.Important to every encephalitis charity and group around the world.No matter if your encephalitis is viral, autoimmune or other,we need your help to raise funds for My Missing Mind.
